Some people have blogs that make their lives look like they are simply full of happy days and hearts and flowers.
I think that is fake.
Today, I had a nice day at the office. Then, I came home.
I have been spending years trying to learn how be a calm, rational, non-explosive, affirming, lovely parent. I have read books, attended seminars, and yes (gasp!) even been in therapy. Lots.
I did not behave well with with my family tonight. Afterward, I needed to go for a long walk, to try to sort out both my feelings, and my failings. I came home after a while, and apologized. At nearly 50 years old, I am still working out what it means to be a good husband and father.
Its not easy. I need more work.
Just wanted to be honest here.

Thanks for being honest. Oh, that more of us could follow your example. Love following your lives and learn much from you, especially on being honest, being a church person and being a parent of two girls. Thank you for opening your life to the blogsphere.
